Download or read book Multicultural and Ethnic Children s Literature in the United States written by Donna L. Gilton and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of Multicultural and Ethnic Children’s Literature in the United States addresses both quantitative and more qualitative changes in this field over the last decade. Quantitative changes include more authors, books, and publishers; book review sources, booklists, and awards; organizations, institutions, and websites; and criticism and other scholarship. Qualitative changes include: More support for new and emerging writers and illustrators; Promotion of multicultural literature both in the U.S. and around the world, as well as developments in global literature; Developments in the literatures described throughout this book, as well as in research supporting this literature; The impact of technology; Characteristics and activities of four adult audiences that use and promote multicultural children’s literature, and Changes in leaders and their organizations. This is still a single reference source for busy and involved librarians, teachers, parents, scholars, publishers, distributors, and community leaders. Most books on multicultural children’s literature are written especially for teachers, librarians, and scholars. They may be introductions to the literature, selection tools, teaching guides, or very theoretical books on choosing, evaluating, and using these materials. Multicultural and Ethnic Children’s Literature in the United States focuses much more on the history of the development of this literature, from the nineteenth century to the present day. This book provides much more of a cultural and political context for the early development of this literature. It emphasizes the “self-determining” viewpoints and activities of diverse people as they produce materials for the young. Multicultural and Ethnic Children’s Literature… describes organizations, events, activities, and other contributions of diverse writers, illustrators, publishers, researchers, scholars, librarians, educators, and parents. It also describes trends in the research on the literature. It elaborates more on ways in which diversity is still an issue in publishing companies and an extended list of related industries. It describes related literature from outside of the U.S. and makes connections to traditional global literature. Last, Multicultural and Ethnic Children’s Literature, shows the impact of multiculturalism on education, libraries, and the mainstream culture, in general. While the other books on multiculturalism focus on how to find, evaluate, and use multicultural materials, especially in schools and libraries, this book is concerned over whether and how books are produced in the first place and how this material impact the broader society. In many ways, it supplements other books on multicultural children’s literature.

Download or read book Truth be Told written by Ashelin R. Currie and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several scholars have determined that African American students need opportunities to see their lived experiences, cultural heritages, and perspectives in texts to learn about themselves and provide affirmations about their lives (Bishop, 1990; Brooks & McNair, 2009; Harris, 1990). African American children's literature (AACL) provides African American students with opportunities to connect with characters who have similar experiences and perspectives as their own (Gangi & Ferguson, 2006). With AACL, students can make text-to-self connections and text-to-world connections (Bishop, 1990; Gangi, 2008; Harris, 1990). This multiple-case study examined the availability and quality of children's books that represent African Americans in two classroom libraries and read-alouds. Furthermore, this study evaluated the depth to which two classroom teachers discussed and explored African American social, historical, and cultural issues when reading AACL aloud to their fourth-grade students. Quantitative data (i.e., a priori content analysis, a priori observations and percentages of books) and qualitative data (i.e., content analysis, observations, field notes, and interviews) were gathered to examine these phenomena. This study demonstrated that Sims's (1982) seminal work on categories and qualities of books that include African American characters in classroom libraries remains relevant. However, three decades hence, the teachers in this study sparsely used AACL in their classrooms in spite of the multiple literary themes and concepts that were apparent throughout each book in the relatively small collection in each classroom. The research revealed that only 6% of the books in each classroom library represented African Americans. Of those, 7% percent (3 books) were social conscience books, 7% (3 books) were melting pot books, and 86% (37 books) were culturally conscious books. Only three books representing African Americans were read during the teachers' read-aloud sessions. The questions teachers asked during the read-alouds were descriptive and personal (Ada & Campoy, 2004). Of the 37 culturally conscious books, 28 were classified as diamonds (Walters 1996/1998) in that the authors' cultures matched the cultures portrayed in the books.

It provides annotated lists of digital media paired with culturally diverse literature to offer librarians and educators a springboard for creating enriching, engaging, and culturally relevant programs for children from diverse backgrounds.

Download or read book Common Core Standards and Black History Month written by Pat Scales and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIVBlack History Month is a time when all Americans celebrate the rich African American culture in our society. It was Carter G. Woodson, an African American historian, who began a weeklong celebration, called Negro History Week, in 1926 as a way to honor Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. Now schools, libraries, churches, and communities find special ways to honor the contributions of African Americans during the month of February. One of the best ways to celebrate is by reading books by and about African Americans. Virginia Hamilton’s works are among the many children’s books that call upon readers to think about slavery, freedom, and heritage. Through her stories, Hamilton instills cultural pride, as well as a sense of family and the importance of friendship. Black History Month is a time to help young readers realize that these universal themes transcend race and that through the power of story, all races are truly united./div
Download or read book The Digital Humanities written by Christopher Millson-Martula and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-29 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The digital humanities in academic institutions, and libraries in particular, have exploded in recent years. Librarians are constantly developing their management and technological skills and increasing their knowledge base. As they continue to embed themselves in the scholarly conversations on campus, the challenges facing subject/liaison librarians, technical service librarians, and library administrators are many. This comprehensive volume highlights the wide variety of theoretical issues discussed, initiatives pursued, and projects implemented by academic librarians. Many of the chapters deal with digital humanities pedagogy—planning and conducting training workshops, institutes, semester-long courses, embedded librarian instruction, and instructional assessment—with some chapters focusing specifically on applications of the “ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education.” The authors also explore a wide variety of other topics, including the emotional labor of librarians; the challenges of transforming static traditional collections into dynamic, user-centered, digital projects; conceptualizing and creating models of collaboration; digital publishing; and developing and planning projects including improving one’s own project management skills. This collection effectively illustrates how librarians are enabling themselves through active research partnerships in an ever-changing scholarly environment. This book was originally published as a special triple issue of the journal College & Undergraduate Libraries.
